                      What kids should learn from adults: spring video

   Who do you think should teach other one? Adults teaching children, or children teaching adults? Some people might think that children should teach adults because they have positive point of view and they are pure. But usually, adults teach children. Now, I would like to tell you about video “Spring”. This video tells us how adults can teach children and why it should be adults who teaches children. Adult monk taught the young monk in this video by making the young monk know that if he does not like something, others will also not like that. In the next body paragraphs, I will compare and contrast my experience and adults teaching children.

    First of all, adults have more experiences than us. When I was young and I could not solve conflict with my friend, teacher (who is also adult) helped my friend and me to be closer again. We did not have enough experience, so we could not solve the conflict between two. But adults, who had lots of experience with conflicts and other things could solve problem between my friend and me. By this situation that children (my friend and me) could not solve a problem between two, but when teacher solved it so easily, I learned that adults were wise and they should teach children.   

     Secondly, adults are more eager to teach others than children do. I had an experience that I felt this very strongly. When I was in kindergarten, I knew math very well than other boys or girls. So, teacher ordered me to teach other children in front of the whole class. But, I could not talk well in front of the whole class and I was also not eager to teach other friends. But when teacher came out in front of the whole class, she explained the information very easily to other children in kindergarten. So, I felt that teacher, or adults were more eager to teach others. Eagerness is important in teaching, so adults should teach children.

     In conclusion, adults should teach children. The reason is that they are more eager to teach, they have more experience, and other many reasons. I wish lots of children in Korea can learn a lot from adults who are eager to teach, and has lot more experience than children. Again i say, adults should teach children.
